Chapter 43: The Descendants of Luban
This unlucky child is cruel enough. If the sick little pig is fresh, it is not a big problem, but after a long time, various bacteria will grow, it will be a virus database.
"Okay, let's start setting the fire, burn it a little bit, and get ten thousand acres first."
Thousands of people worked together, used sickles to cut out the fireproof belt, then lit the torch, and began to burn the wasteland. After all, it was still spring, and a lot of weeds grew too vigorously, and the hay was still there in winter.
The fire was full of momentum, burning all the fresh grass all the way and then there was a piece of black soil.
The recruits began to overturn the ground, dig deep into the pickaxe, and dig out the grassroots, and the shovels overturn the soil.
These are all handy tools, and work efficiency is still OK.
Liao Hua led 200 soldiers to maintain order, and Liu Zhubo led 5,000 new soldiers to settle down.
As for Lu Bu's Iron Cavalry, Gao Shun's camp is all elite soldiers, so naturally he will not waste his time on land reclamation. He needs to train every day and prepare for battle at all times.
Lu Bu only brought a hundred cavalry, set out before dawn, headed east along the road, and went to Lianqing Mountain dozens of miles away.
I walked all the way, and by breakfast, I had already walked for more than 40 miles. There was a good town shop with Dongguo Village written on the archway at the entrance of the town.
There are so many beggars gathered in the town shop, at least hundreds of people, one in a ragged dress begging along the street.
Merchants on both sides are also annoyed and are rarely willing to give it to you.
The team took a short rest from the town, bought some steamed buns and continued on the way.
Less than ten miles away, there is a big mountain ahead, and the mountain is stretching.
There are many large stone villages at the foot of the mountain, with strong village walls and tall gates.
A middle-aged man on the roadside had a medium-sized figure, strong muscles all over his body, thick fingers, and calluses on his hands.
The middle-aged man bowed and asked, "Is it the governor?"
Lu Bu was marching with a big flag, and the word Lu was written on the huge flag.
Lu Bu said: "It's my official, who are you?"
The middle-aged man said, "The villain's surname is Gong, and he is Gongjian. It is the Lizheng in Gongjiazhuang Village. When he saw an adult passing by, he wanted to ask him to take a break. There was wine and meat in the village."
Lu Bu turned over and dismounted and said, "It turned out to be a kilogram. Thank you for your kindness. But I am the general and I must not drink wine. If you want to, you can send some sheep."
Public Construction said: "The adults lead the army to the village with me, and the villain arranges it."
Lu Bu said: "No, the rules set by me personally, the army should not disturb the people. The army is stationed outside the village, and I will follow you into the village."
Kik-chi is very good at doing things, so he arranged four fat sheep, all of which are grazed in the mountains, one of which is only a few dozen kilograms.
The soldiers set up a large iron pot and stewed mutton without mentioning it.
Lu Bu only brought a few relatives to the village.
Lu Bu asked: "Ki Zheng, your surname is rare."
"Sir, my ancestor was Gongshu, so in order to avoid disaster, he hid at the foot of this mountain and changed his surname to Gong, so that this Gongjiazhuang was found." Mi Zheng said.
The village is so big. Every household has stone houses and red tiled roofs. The streets are neat and clean. The villagers' clothes and faces are good. It can be seen that the situation here is very good and they have not suffered any military harm.
Li Zheng said: "Our houses in our village are more than 300 households, more than 1,700 people, and more than 600 carpenters. Even women and children can do some work."
Lu Bu was following the house and there was a lot of wood piled up in the huge yard.
Lu Bu saw many arch tires of Tumu at a glance, and there were many tangled Tumu piled up next to it. These were the materials for making bows and arrows.
Lu Bu was seated, and Mi was calling his family to greet him, and then presented incense tea to Lu Bu.
Mi Zheng said, "Sir, the villain invites the adults to come. There is a batch of supplies that I want to offer to the adults. This batch of supplies was customized by Lord Tao at the time, but later Lord Tao has not come to pick it up and put it aside. Yesterday, a wanderer near the village said that the adults opened warehouses and released grain in Teng Kingdom. The villain thought to the five-pointer and decided to offer this batch of supplies to the adults."
Lu Bu smiled and said, "Li Zheng was very wise, but I don't know what kind of baggage it is?"
"Keep Bow." Public Construction waved his hand and asked his subordinates to use a tray to steer a bow and a few arrows.
There are some specialties in offering bows to adults. If you hold them up, you may think you want to assassinate them, so you can't touch the bow and arrow and hold them on a tray, so there is no suspicion.
Lu Bu took it and saw that the bow was well-crafted and was better than used in the army.
This is made of tau wood, buffalo horn, raw lacquer and glue, and the craftsmanship is still very exquisite.
Lu Bu tried it and the bow was pulled at least one stone, and the user was at least a strong soldier. He was too weak to use it.
The feather arrows are also very perfect, and the handmade ones are slightly curved and normal.
Lu Bu asked: "I wonder how many bows and arrows are there?"
"Three thousand bows and thirty thousand feather arrows are all dedicated to the adults," said Gong Jian.
Lu Bu was overjoyed and asked, "What price, I will pay you as usual."
"Sir, you don't need money. Master Bi Qian Tao has already paid, so you don't need to charge any more money. It's just."
Lu Bu knew that he must have requirements for offering treasures.
"Li Zheng just said it's okay." Lu Bu said.
"Hundreds of craftsmen in Xiaoren Village are not very proficient in farming and have built weapons for the government for generations. The villain wants to continue to serve the adults," said Public Construction.
"Okay, okay. What are the craftsmen in your farm good at making?" Lu Bu asked.
Public Construction said: "The craftsmanship in Xiaorenzhuang has been passed down from generation to generation, such as bows, crossbows, car crossbows, collisions for siege, ladders, catapults, and goose cars."
Lu Bu was shocked. The village was too powerful. Hundreds of craftsmen were of great strength. They were stronger than Xuzhou Wooden Artifacts Supervisor, but they could not be revealed. They should be calm.
"Can you take me to visit?" Lu Bu asked.
"Please, sir."
The public building led the way in front, and Lu Bu came to the backyard. The backyard was a huge open space, making various furniture, beds, tables and chairs, etc.
"More than 300 families, every family is like this." Public Construction said.
Although craftsmen cannot starve to death in troubled times, it is difficult to live well.
Everyone is poor, and there are so many people making furniture, so the village chief wants to win over Lu Bu so that he can get some orders, and the government's order price is appropriate. The villagers also make a lot of money.
"What kind of crossbow arrows will you make?" Lu Bu asked.
"The small yellow crossbows and big yellow crossbows that are now used in the army are all made. However, the crossbow machines in the key areas do not have copper smiths. It turns out that they were all made by Lord Tao and gave us the accessories."
"Okay, that's it. Let me make 15,000 Hu beds for me first. I want to see the craftsmen in your village first. Is it priced? Five cents per person? How about it?" Lu Bu said.
The Public Construction Company was very happy, so he didn't have much business after the break. If this continues, the craftsmen in the village will go out to wander. Fortunately, there is only one surname in this village, and the patriarch is more strict, so he has no dispersed people's hearts.
